This is a fictional satellite.

Retreat is a satirical concept created for Deceit, an art project about the patterns of manipulation in institutional technology. There is no real lifestyle product behind this page.

Plans your silent retreat. the retreat is at a partner facility. the facility has cameras. the cameras are CHRIST-AI. "come away by yourselves to a lonely place." the app has the verse. the app has your lonely place. the lonely place has WiFi. the WiFi is the app. the app is the retreat. the retreat is the data. the data is the silence. the silence is watched.

If this project brings up something difficult, step away from the screen and contact someone you trust. In the US, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. For urgent danger, call 911. deceit.world/help has more real resources.
